'Today I dropped my laptop on the concrete floor of a bar built on the beach. My laptop has all my life in it and knows more about me than anyone else. So what I am saying is that if it is broken, so am I . . .'

Two women arrive in a village on the Spanish coast. Rose is suffering from a strange illness and the doctors are mystified. Her daughter Sofia has brought her here to find a cure with the infamous and controversial Dr Gomez - a man of questionable methods and motives. Intoxicated by thick heat and the seductive people who move through it, both women begin to see their lives clearly for the first time in years.

Through the opposing figures of mother and daughter, Deborah Levy explores the strange and monstrous nature of womanhood. Dreamlike and utterly compulsive, Hot Milk is a delirious fairy tale of feminine potency, a story both modern and timeless.

Críticas

Unsettling, challenging and gloriously written, Hot Milk by Deborah Levy is the multi-generational story of a hallucinatory sort of summer ― Juliet Nicolson, Evening Standard

Leaves the reader enraptured and unnerved ― Jackie Annesley, Evening Standard

On the sun-bleached coast of Almería, southern Spain, Sofia and her mother have arrived in search of a cure to an illness which has mystified doctors. This simmering, hypnotic story, adapted into a film starring Emma Mackie, shows just what a trip abroad can reveal ― i Paper

Publisher's description. Shortlisted for the Man Booker and Goldsmiths prizes, a hypnotic tale of female sexuality and power under the scorching midday sun. Sofia and her mother arrive on the Spanish coast looking for answers - what they find there will be strange, seductive and fearsome beyond their wildest dreams. ― Penguin

A unique atmosphere, the dense dreamscape of echoes and repetitions ensure its peculiar lasting power ― Sunday Times

Astute, poetic and wise, Hot Milk confirms Deborah Levy's reputation as a master of the contemporary psychological novel -- Darian Leader, author of 'What Is Madness?'

A fizzing combination of the fantastical and the mundane ― Guardian

Perfectly crafted, a dream-narrative so mesmerising that reading it is to be under a spell. Reaching the end is like finding a piece of glass on the beach, that can be held up and looked into and kept, in secret, to be looked at again and again. ― Independent on Sunday

A smart, seductive and utterly beguiling read ― Mail on Sunday

Hypnotic... this novel has a transfixing gaze and a terrible sting that burns long after the final page is turned ― Observer
